An educational PC used in schools in the UK and Ireland. This one is a later model from 2006, while the original case design is from 2003

I remember my school switched to iBox LCD monitors after the huge RM CRTs with the built in speakers

Surprised they were still selling CRTs with new systems in 2006. I built a new computer in 2006 and a good quality LCD (a Dell widescreen IPS one) wasn't particularly expensive - I never even considered a CRT!

I’m actually surprised beige computers were still made by 2006 by 2003/2004 beige was phased out and only AOpen still made them and even then they also made black versions of the chassises too

I had a look on the RM website on the wayback machine, at that time they were trying to phase out of the beige era with their new black all in one case and other desktops. They only kept this case going because it was the cheapest case available

A cool machine! I did not know they produced even up to the XP era. I have an old 386 from RM, and the correct RM mouse for it, really like its design.

Oh wow, I was using machines with this design in around 2002. Never thought people would save them.
I remember that computer room had the first colour laser printer.
